G'day, late to the party here - pity I didn't know of it sooner to be honest. Been having a squizz right through and I'm a fan so far.

Just wanted to ask (after I viewed your ToS of course) would the old Eddit WPD community be welcome here? Thought best to check first, plus I gotta wait two weeks to create the sub anyway.

/u/Diplomat created a similar sub, however we plan to bring over basically everyone that is interested to a WPD sub. Even with, say, 1 percent following through that's 5k+ at least. The discord (user run, not by us ex mods) blew out over one thousand overnight, so the timing would be right for it.

PS; props given for no porn on the site, unexpected but oddly welcome addition to the ToS I reckon.

Yeah it shouldn't be a problem, but like another user pointed out, it probably should have the option changed so it doesn't appear on the front page, that's a sub option available to mods.

Excellent to hear, thank you.

Now just gotta wait out the 2 weeks!

I hit you up in a PM just to make sure the settings are all correct, as for some reason it's still appearing on s/all. Is that just due to me being subscribed?

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

This is the option that needs un-checked if you want to hide it from the front page:

allow this sub to be included in /s/all as well as the default and trending lists

It will probably still show up in your main page because you're a mod. Hope that helps

[–]Greedeater 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Yep, unchecked that. Just wanted to make sure we ain't annoying other users cos we'll be filling up some content. Folks are already heading over from the group's.

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Okay, then you should be good to go! I bet if you try logging out, it will no longer appear in /s/all

[–]Greedeater 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yep, perfect. Cheers mate!

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Great!

[–]wizzwizz4 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Given that /s/all is the default, probably no; people would probably report it as "threatening, harassing or inciting violence". However, I'm not in charge here.

There are a few proposals for alternative systems to the /s/all or /s/subscribed false dichotomy, which would allow WPD to exist here without being shoved in everybody's faces.

If you do make a WPD, please ensure that the sub doesn't appear in /s/all in the settings.

Disclaimer: I disagree with WPD's "right to exist" quite strongly, finding the thing abhorrent.

[–]Greedeater 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'm sure there would be a "remove from front page" option, wouldn't there? First thing we did with the sub years ago in Eddit and intend to do the same here, well aware we ain't everyone's cuppa tea.

Fair enough mate, each to their own. No harm no foul eh? Thanks for the reply.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

There is a NSFW.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Everytime you see a bomb explode on the news there's a high chance that's someone your government is killing.

I'm not in favour of that sub either but we need not turn away.

[–]wizzwizz4 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Log them, sure. Be aware of them. But watch them? That sub has plenty of people getting hit by cars and trains.

[–]Jesus 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (29 children)

WPD??

[–]Greedeater 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (27 children)

Eyup.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (26 children)

Yes, if you make it a sub, please use the full name, "WatchPeopleDie".

[–]Greedeater 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (25 children)

That's my intention, it will be WatchPeopleDie. I'm just worried the URL will be undercut - still waiting for the time limit cos new account haha - and we'll have to use an alternative one.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (24 children)

"undercut"?

[–]Greedeater 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (23 children)

Someone else taking the URL/name.

I have a long sub wish list : https://infogalactic.com/info/SaidIt#SaidIt_subs_wishlist

  1. I don't care for being mod. It's a power trip for some, it's about community for others. It's a necessary evil, but it's not for me.

  2. I'm an animator/designer. I made several banners and a SaidIt CSS. I'm all about improving SaidIt, though we may debate what are improvements. I've not finished with my CSS (some experiments and design ideas to revert and tweak) that I copypaste into all my subs, unless there's a reason/request not to.

  3. I'm also fanatical about organizing. I find the chaos and lack of metatags here frustrating. Also, I don't know why we only get 1 sub a week. And no one has yet given me a good reason why more subs are a bad thing, though I can see that there are a LOT of stupid names for subs, I value freedom above all. If I could code I'd help them add meta tags and the ability to classify the freely named subs for better informational searches.

  4. I'm sooo not into death or WPD. But I have some design stuff and new ideas appropriate for it.

That said, I have a proposal...

I get my new sub in about 16 hours. I could make WatchPeopleDie then if it's not already undercut. I would then invite you to co-mod as well as d3rr, SaidIt co-admin, whom I've already invited to co-mod all my other subs. You can moderate it together by consensus and agree to invite whoever you chose to together. I will be dropping back after adding my design to it.

I don't want to apply my CSS to it, though you can if you want. I simply want to add a banner and a background tile, leaving the rest as default, unless further finessing is required. I have a few options in mind too if you want to select from them. (I will be posting them here when I make them: https://infogalactic.com/info/SaidIt_gallery#SaidIt_banners_gallery I'm actually several behind but intend to wrap them up this week.)

This is already long so if you want more info about my ideas or ideas of your own, chime in.

Also, part of this little experiment is to see if making a template of sorts to maybe apply to all NSFW or Gore or whatever type subs. If someone clicks on a sub and doesn't know what it is, the banner and style may help caution them.

Lastly, in return I'd ask that you find something in my grand wish list that you'll create and invite me. It doesn't have to be your first one. Also if WPD isn't your first choice we have half a day to discuss other ideas and strategies.

Feel free to decline if you like for whatever reason you like and share that with me or not as you see fit.

[–]Greedeater 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (21 children)

I've perused your wish list and seen a few I was thinking of porting in the future. I'm not a bloke for politics, bit some of the general and music subs did catch my eye.

You sir have a deal, and my gratitude.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (20 children)

Prompt reply. We'll see where we are in 15 hours.

Just a few? Just a few from my list or a few in general? Mind sharing your list/interests?

Also, mind being a proxy? Maybe you can be my "second sub per week"? I hadn't originally planned this, or maybe I'm an evil genius of manipulation, though if I were a real evil genius I would have likely recruited someone before now. Actually a month or five ago I asked magnora7, the founder of SaidIt if I could create 6 more accounts to get 1 sub a day. He said I'd figured out a loophole and that technically I could but it's frowned upon. Because I respect SaidIt I didn't and won't. Thought there are some here with multiple aliases and about a month ago one was using them to amplify their free speech so a new policy against that was created.

Anyway, my motives remain listed above unchanged. I have need to greedily eat new subs to poop out more prettified categories.

WatchPeopleDie, Not sure why he wouldn't just say what it was.
